*trots in, grins at Sissa's idea, thinking it's pretty cool ................ frowns at her word - "what the blazes is THAT?" ........ looks up in Wikipedia*
"In some traditions (branches of religions which practice ritual magic), the Athame is a knife with a double edged blade and short (often black) handle; other traditions require that the blade be dull, curved, wavy, or a variety of other specifications. Decoration of the handle of the Athame ranges from
astrological glyphs to
runes, but the symbols are always special to the owner. The symbols are usually of a magical nature. The decoration of the handle is either in accordance with the requirements of the
coven of the owner, or down to the personal taste of the
Solitary Witch."
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh okeys, now I know what it isssssssssssssssssssssssssss LOL
Borage (herb): Carry the fresh blossoms to strength-en your courage, or place one in your buttonhole for protection when walking outdoors. A tea of Borage induces psychic powers.
*shrugs at Sissa ......... I learnt something about Athames, someone might learn something else about Borage, and so on
